| description | The study of social movements has mushroomed from a marginalised field of
study in social psychology in the 1960s to a large speciality area of sociology in its
own right with significant ties to political, organisational, and cultural sociology.
Jama'at-e-Islami, which first began its journey as an Islamic social movement is
the object of research by Abdul Rashid Moten. Employing, a political-sociological
method — the elite theory — in Revolution to Revolution: Jama'at-e-Islami in the
Politics of Pakistan, Abdul Rashid Moten provides a fascinating and perceptive
analysis of the transformation of the Jama'at from an Islamic social revivalist
movement to a full-fledged political party in Pakistan. The Jama'at-e-Islami was
formed in 26 August 1941, with Sayyid Abul A'la Mawdudi being elected as its
first amir. He resolutely believed in the unity of the Muslim Umma and considered
nationalism as an alien concept to Islam. Therefore, he did not join the movement
for the establishment of Pakistan. However, once this state came into being in
1947, Mawdudi moved to Pakistan and resumed the activities of the Jama'at. |
